Exclusive Update – Tehran | Internet Blackout
Iran Protests – Eyewitness Message from Tehran Describes Mass Killings Amid Total Blackout
An eyewitness message received exclusively by Simay Azadi from Tehran describes an extreme escalation of violence amid a complete internet and electricity blackout across parts of the city:
“This is a massacre. A full massacre. They’ve imposed a complete blackout. They’ve cut all communications. They’re just killing people. Only people outside Iran can inform the world. You can’t believe how many they’re killing. Even some of their own forces are being killed. People are going out with the intention to kill or be killed. They’re saying, ‘If we don’t kill them, they’ll kill us.’ That’s what it’s come to. But they are armed to the teeth. The situation is catastrophic.
Simay Azadi EXCLUSIVE — Message from Tehran, Iran#IranRevolution2026 Amid the regime’s internet blackout, a voice from inside Tehran delivers a stark warning: “People are going out there ready to kill or be killed. They say if we don’t kill them, they’ll kill us.” pic.twitter.com/Y4AC4KnzMw
I don’t know what to do. I’ve never seen anything like this. Yesterday they cut electricity to an entire area. In Punak, once it got crowded, they used the blackout to carry out killings.
Do whatever you can. Write letters, send emails, contact anyone you can. They keep saying reinforcements are coming, but it’s a massacre. In hospitals, bodies are being piled on top of bodies.
The morgues have no more space. The situation is so bad you can’t sleep at night. The stress is unbearable. There are clashes everywhere, fires everywhere.
I see Iranians protesting across Europe and other countries, but inside nothing is happening. I don’t understand why no real action is taken. If this turns into a war of attrition, only they will keep killing.”

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran announced on January 11 that the total number of victims of the nationwide uprising from December 27 to January 11 has surpassed 3,000.
According to the statement, the figure is based on verified investigations using local sources, hospitals, forensic medicine centers, and families of victims and the disappeared across 195 cities nationwide.

She emphasized that those who ordered and carried out the killings will face justice in a free and democratic Iran.
